My previous post concerned the preparations for the special somphot ceremony at Wat Phra Lao which took place last weekend. Two years ago I filmed some video of the same ceremony. It included footage taken inside the Phra Ubosot. It is quite rare to see such footage, I think, and I felt quite privileged when the monks at Wat Phra Lao invited me to film inside.
I have posted a 4-minute clip to my YouTube Channel. You will hear chanting led by the monks in the ubosot and joined by the lay people outside.
Here are a few stills taken from the clip.
Hi Lawrence, I managed about 1.5 minutes then TOT kicked in an buffered everything so it was a bit useless.
Great idea though and something few foreigners have experienced I fancy?
I will try again when the Internet connection is flying-56k or so!!!!!
